Time: 7:00 PM

Attendees: 0
Good storytelling connects with people by stirring emotion and sharing something meaningful. Photography does this in a unique way—using images to tell stories that draw viewers in and make them think and feel. A powerful story stays with us because it awakens memories and emotions. It might bring joy, laughter, tears, or a sense of understanding. Visual storytelling helps us connect with others and see the world from different perspectives. Photography is more than just composition—it’s a visual language that conveys mood and meaning. In this presentation, Peter will explore some key ideas behind visual storytelling and composition.

This presentation will focus on lighting as the most important element of still life photography. There will be examples and discussion of classic, high-key, low-key, and abstract still life.
